I see where you’re coming from but I’m not as worried because it’s just been about getting as many players as many minutes. A lot of these players will be nowhere near the starting eleven when the season starts. Bowen? Patten? Mick said himself after the game it was never going to be Tomlin - Whyte - Collins as our top three vs. Barnsley. They were our three vs. Exeter. Because it’s preseason and he’s seeing what’s what.

As for returning players, two of them were among our best players last season. Morrison and Moore. That will definitely make a difference. My concern is that these injuries are worse than we think. I just want to see our best eleven players together once before passing judgement because right now we haven’t seen anything even close to that, including yesterday.
